You are about to discover the rewarding world of writing for children.
Whether you are starting from scratch, have an idea for a book in mind or already have a manuscript in progress, by the end of this course you will have a solid working draft of a picture book manuscript ready to take to the next level.
You will also receive an assortment of bonuses, including:
- An Editing Checklist to measure your manuscript(s) against from now on.
- A Writers Resource list, with my recommendations for the best publications, organizations, websites and blogs for children’s book authors.
- A gift certificate for a discount off of editorial services for your manuscript.
Over the course of the next two months, you will receive one email per week – each featuring a specific lesson and corresponding assignments. The curriculum is designed as an independent study, but should questions arise as you are working, please feel free to post them in the “Comments” boxes located on the web pages for each lesson. I will endeavor to respond to comments and questions as often as possible. Additionally, you can post comments and questions in the Forum Discussion area, which enables participants in the course to dialogue with one another about their experiences and to stay in touch even after the course is completed.
Please note that although the course is sequential, the time frame is flexible. Should you need extra time before moving on to the next lesson, just save the emails as they come in and work on each lesson as you’re ready.
Just as importantly, please be patient with your progress. Though you may be tempted to move ahead more quickly, it’s essential to learn the building blocks in sequence and to give the ideas time to percolate before jumping into the next phase of development.
Once you have completed the course, you will receive an additional bonus – a $50 gift certificate toward any of my editorial services. Should you wish to receive a personalized, professional evaluation or line edit of your manuscript, you will be able to do so at a significant savings off the standard price.
Finally, please note that should you discover the course is not right for your needs, you have 14 days from the date you signed up to obtain a refund. Simply email your refund request within 14 days to admin@justwriteforkids.com.
Thank you again, and all good wishes to you as you embark upon this new adventure!
